Tim McVeigh is all you have to say in Oklahoma to shoot down the profiling argument.
McVeigh was a clean cut hardworking vet who looked like everyone else. Then he blew up one city block of OKC and he still looked the same way.
The cop that pulled McVeigh over did so because the car McVeigh was driving did not have a rear plate, and he arrested him because he discovered a gun in the car that was not being transported correctly.
When the cop got to the jail he heard the news about the bombing. While other cops were looking for Middle-Eastern men McVeigh was sitting in a cell.

TMcV is one example that makes a good exception, but certainly does not overturn the other evidence, nor does it stop common sense from seeing the patterns that are obvious. While I disagree with many of Israels policies, they is no doubt they have the best intelligence in the world regarding airline terrorism. We need to emulate them to beat the terrorists in in airports. Other places also, while continuing to look for the exceptions.
